Texas police: Father kills wife, son, daughter, then himself

KATY, Texas (AP) — Investigators say a man shot and killed his wife, son and daughter before killing himself in a Houston-area home.

The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office says the bodies were discovered Tuesday morning in the Katy area.

Sheriff's spokesman Bob Haenel (HAN'-el) says it appears the man shot his family. Haenel says a relative of the victims had asked deputies to check on the family, and that's how their bodies were found.

A sheriff's statement identified the dead as 37-year-old Jeremy Raju Srinivasan, his 35-year-old wife Natalie Altier Srinivasan, and their 5-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son. All were shot to death.
